The most interesting about the results IMHO is JRuby's performance. It's now faster than CRuby1.8, and, for what I have read, solves also the scalability problems associated to it(threads, GC, etc...).

And there's a lot of room for improvement, specially with the advent of invokedynamic. I wasn't eager to learn Ruby because of their alleged performance and scalability problems, but it seems that JRuby is changing that.

(If I'm mistaken, and things aren't so bright, please, enlighten me).
